The Honor 8X is unlikely to arrive with its bigger brother, the Honor 8X Max. As for specs, the Honor 8X comes with a 6.5-inch 19.5:9 IPS display with a notch, Kirin 710 processor, 4GB of RAM and a choice of either 64GB/128GB of storage, though it’s unclear which variant the company will be selling in the Philippines.
It also has AI-powred 20-megapixel and 2-megapixel dual cameras, a 16-megapixel front camera plus a 3,750mAh battery. We’ve already done our first hands-on of the device a few days ago, along with camera samples from the dual cameras. You can find them both linked below.
